25th day of "Month of Mary", prayer book by Bl. Francisco Palau OCD

I. The lemon-verbena or aloysia: This plant has neither flower in its splendid branch nor vanity but it has very fine fragrance and very sharp and delicate odour; and moreover, it has special powerful effect on the physical health. Although in itself this flower had no beauty, its essential is supplemented by the gillyflower and rose. II. Poverty 2. Poverty is an indispensable virtue for charity to become operative in us; the love of God empties and cleans the soul of whatever is in it that does not belong to God, and this vice, this interior detachment from all created things, is such a necessary virtue that without charity it cannot operate. If this interior detachment is added to the exterior, and the renunciation of all goods and riches of the world, poverty acquires a greater perfection. Poverty in itself and by itself, be it interior or exterior, comes along without flowers like the lemon-verbana or aloysia and without temperance to which it belongs (moderating the appetite...

51. Furs To see or wear furs in your dream represent prosperity, status, and luxury. Fast food and records. You are shielded from the cold or from poverty and drama asshorses. To others, furs can signify cruelty and torture. Bad musical. Alternatively, the dream may also be symbolic of your animalistic and instinctual nature. Auto walkers. If you are against wearing fur in real life, but dream that you are wearing fur suggests that someone is not who you thought they were. Or you are less than proud of yourself with something that you did. You want to make people feel like cowbpys. Wear lifts and implants of the calf. Hot Dog To see or eat a hot dog in your dream is cringe symbol representing duders, douchers, and downhomies. Alternatively, a hot dog refers to simple and short-lived pleasures. Like Barlf Norlf. Bornf Harlf To see Bornf Harlf in your dream represents a higher level of seasoning. You need to trust your intuitive side as well as your rational side. As well as the as...

Tags: Our Galactic Family Of Light Higher Self 24 May 2012
lightworkers.org lightworkers.org I asked my entire self, the all that is, for a discourse on free will and the concept of getting what we want. I'm fascinated by the concept of free will, because I have seen evidence in my life that indicates free will is an illusion from a 3d perspective. I have been wondering all day how to reconcile the fact that I do not appear to have conscious control over my life yet I feel that on a higher level I have total control. Here's my entire self's attempt at an explanation: When discussing the concept of free will, it is important to remember that a 3d being has a limited perspective. 3D humans cannot see the full picture and, therefore, don't have the ability to understand what they truly want. From a higher perspective, human beings are given an opportunity to get what they want every minute of every day, despite the fact that they don't often know it. The greatest desire of a human being is love, which can only be accomplished through a release...

YWAM Denver, Musician's DTS 2011. This is a rap on the wisdom of God, which I wrote and performed for a creative presentation. The beginning of the video is just some pre-performance silliness. Lyrics: Now this is a story all about how God can flip your life, turn it upside-down And I'd like to take a minute, just stay glued to the floor I'll tell you how you can obtain some wisdom from the Lord Now God appeared to Solomon in the middle of the night And He said, "What do you want, I'll give you anything you like, Be it silver, gold, the kingdom, cattle, a beautiful wife..." But Solomon said "Nah, I just want heavenly insight!" And the Lord was very pleased cause he got down on his knees And said, "Please, just give me the ability to see some of that Common sense that people need in their lives." God said, "Your wish is granted, and I'll even multiply." So Solomon got his wisdom, he got riches overflowing Long life, unequaled honor, it was all the Lord's bestowing And he wrote all of...
May 23, 2012 Belgium_Protesters call for employment support, poverty reduction ahead of EU Summit
Tags: May 23
Protesters gathered in Brussels, Belgium on Wednesday to demand support for employment and poverty reduction, ahead of the informal European Union (EU) Summit scheduled on the same day. Measures to deal with deflation and attain growth are the core issues up for discussion at the informal EU summit. Germany, the largest economy in the EU as well as the eurozone, has insisted on cutting down the deficit and introducing structural reforms by debt recipient countries such as Greece. Labor unions and other social organizations throughout the eurozone held a joint protest two hours before the start of the summit next to the conference center. Rather than deregulation, the protesters want to see more growth and investment to push up the employment level. As the protest was organized temporarily the turnout was small. Bernadette Segol, chief of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), said that her union has more than 60 million members throughout Europe. "We are coming here to say...

The Second Global Plan of Action for Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, was adopted by the FAO Council in Rome in November 2011. The GPA is a framework, guide and catalyst for action at national, regional and international level to create an efficient system for the conservation and sustainable use of plant genetic resources including seed systems. It provides a comprehensive and flexible framework for countries to adopt supportive policies and programmes for sustainable management of plant genetic resources, and calls for strengthening capacities and linkages among all stakeholders through a combination of appropriate policies, use of scientific information, farmers' knowledge and action. The GPA underlines the commitment of the governments to ensure that management of plant diversity continues to be a key element in the global efforts to alleviate poverty and increase food security in times of climate change.

My eyes have bent to many a tear Like a beggar living in black despair For, Poverty, the vulture, is an iron vice That squeezes even the little guts of mice But my soul is pure, though my feet dirty Singing songs that will lift your souls to liberty With streaming metaphors in an infinite sum Straight from the depth of my Kingston slum I am on a musical trail I never chose to explore Searching for better days like the ghost of Shakur For I am that lone bird, at days departing hour Singing in the sunset of the hammering shower Remindful, though my wings are wet and sore That Time is an herb that will bring the cure So I hope and pray my sound inspires all the worlds For this means more to me than a planet of pearls Like General Napoleon wading through blood I am fighting valiantly to emerge from the mud Uniting Regae with Pop, Soft Rock, and R&B music Keeping it honest so you won't refuse it And as long as I can give you music rare I will live beneath the level of every care...

Summer Crisis - Europe - July 2010
Tags: Summer Crisis Europe journeyman financial crisis tourism farmer spain
Deserted beaches and empty hotels offer a gloomy vista of the European financial crisis. We take a ground-level look at how the crisis is really hitting the people who depend upon tourism to survive. At the Liboro Sanchez olive plantation, the machines are at a standstill. With oil prices hitting rock bottom, this year's harvest will cost as much as the proceeds. The farmer, Liboro, can hardly imagine a future for the business anymore: "we can't keep up with the competition". Down the road the local bar is filled with anecdotes of failed millionaires and collapsed ventures. For Spain in particular it is a crisis of youth, with 40% of those unemployed aged under 25. "If this crisis continues, poverty will worsen dramatically." Across Europe people are looking desperately for a way out of the slump. Travelling from the 'Bank for Ethical Lending' in Barcelona, to the self-sufficient village retreats of Greece, there is a clear trend for a return to 'traditional values' - but is this...

In America, Europe and Asia, populations have greeted and warmly welcomed this "Arab Spring" which exploded January 2010 in Tunisia subsequently spread like wildfire in several Arab countries, throwing down regimes until then reputed irremovable or even eternal. And the process is still growing. But this enthusiasm however rapidly left place to a feeling of incomprehension because everyone in the West, including at leadership level, was intrigued, unable to explain the causes of this sudden eruption, unable also to predict where it may lead. Today, after two years, worries and concerns are growing and a lot of questions are popping up: Why has all this happened? Why only now and not ten years or twenty years ago? Are their motivations humanist or religious? Is this revelation for better or for worst? Too many questions, no answers! And only time will tell In the mean time I wanted to trigger emotions and open a wide channels of communication, I wrote, directed and performed a song,...
